Chateau Musar Red Wine Bekaa Valley 2001

Chateau Musar Red 2001, a mature Bekaa Valley red from Lebanon's most celebrated estate.

Founded by Gaston Hochar in 1930 and shaped by his son Serge, Chateau Musar blends Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsault and Carignan from high vineyards in the Bekaa Valley and holds each vintage for years before release. Now more than two decades on, the 2001 is scarlet with terracotta at the rim and shows cigar box spice, warm leather, baked fruit and morello cherry, with red cherry, dark chocolate, olive and fig on a velvety palate and a very long finish. Drinking well now; decant before pouring.
